This massive catalogue contains probably a complete list of lantern
slides manufactured or sold by Newton at that time. The section on
apparatus in the beginning is illustrated and instructional texts on
illuminations and use of lanterns are given, too. In the section on
lanterns and devices, carriers, screens, light sources and lanterns are
presented (p. 3-86). The list of lantern slides is organized by subject
matter and covers pages 87-524; the catalogue starts with standard
format slides. Effect slides are listed in the end (p. 482-end). Effect
slides are also illustrated probably in order to demonstrate the
respective format and its mechanisms. A very unique format is the slide
of the 'dancing witches', catalogue page 485. In order to learn more about lanterns and slides manufactured by Newton, visit the Lucerna Magic Lantern Web Resource at https://slides.uni-trier.de/organisation/index.php?id=1000428 .

Subject: Great source of knowledge about the magic lanterns

This is of course great, one of the biggest catalogues from one of the biggest manufacturers of the period. So anyone interested in magic lanterns history should at least have a glance on it, catalogues like this put lanterns into context and realities they belong.

I only have a question for uploader - is this catalogue classified as Public Domain? Or what is exactly its copyright status? Can it be used for commercial use?

If you see this, thanks for letting me know in advance.
